All discharges of stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, or other waters not intended to be treated in the treatment facility shall be made to storm sewers or natural outlets designed for such discharges, except as authorized under Article IV, § 157-20. Any connection, drain, or arrangement which will permit any such waters to enter any other sewer shall be deemed to be a violation of this section and this chapter.

Create a fire or explosion hazard, including, but
not limited to, gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, or other flammable
or explosive liquid, solid, or gas; waste stream with a closed cup
flashpoint of less than 140° F. or 60° C. using test methods
specified in 40 CFR 261.21;

Cause corrosive damage or hazard to structures, equipment,
or personnel of the wastewater facilities, but in no case discharges
with the following properties: having a pH lower than 5.0 or greater
than 11.0.

Contain heat in amounts which are likely to accelerate
the biodegradation of wastes, causing the formation of excessive amounts
of hydrogen sulfide in the treatment works or inhibit biological activity
in the treatment facilities, but in no case shall the discharge of
heat cause the temperature in the Town wastewater sewer to exceed
65° C. (150° F.) or the temperature of the influent to the
treatment facilities to exceed 40° C. (104° F.) unless the
facilities can accommodate such heat and the Town has obtained prior
approval from the approval authority;

If, in establishing discharge restrictions, discharge
limits, or pretreatment standards pursuant to this article, the manager
establishes concentration limits to be met by a user, the manager,
in lieu of concentration limits, may establish mass limits of comparable
stringency for an individual user at the request of such user. Upon
approval by the state, such limits should become pretreatment standards.

No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
to any treatment works wastewaters containing substances subject to
an applicable categorical pretreatment standard promulgated by the
EPA in excess of the quantity prescribed in such applicable pretreatment
standards except as otherwise provided in this section. Compliance
with such applicable pretreatment standards shall be within three
years of the date the standard is promulgated; provided, however,
that compliance with a categorical pretreatment standard for new sources
shall be required upon commencement of discharge to the treatment
works.

Nothing in this article shall be construed as
preventing any agreement or arrangement between the Town and any user
of the treatment works and treatment facility whereby wastewater of
unusual strength or character (only in terms of BOD and/or suspended
solids) is accepted into the system and specially treated, subject
to additional payments or user charges as may be applicable.

The conservation of water and energy shall be
encouraged by the manager. In establishing discharge restrictions
upon users, the manager shall take into account already implemented
or planned conservation steps revealed by the user. Upon request of
the manager, each user will provide the manager with pertinent information
showing that the quantities of substances or pollutants have not been
and will not be increased as a result of the conservation steps. Upon
such a showing to the satisfaction of the manager, he shall make adjustments
to discharge restrictions, which have been based on concentrations
to reflect the conservation steps.

No user shall ever increase the use of process
water or, in any way, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or
complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with
the limitations contained in the Federal Categorical Pretreatment
Standards, or in any other pollutant-specific limitation developed
by the Town or state.

Each user shall provide protection from accidental
discharge of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by
this chapter. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited
materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner's or user's
own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating
procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the Town
for review, and shall be approved by the Town before construction
of the facility. No user who commences contribution to the POTW after
the effective date of this chapter shall be permitted to introduce
pollutants into the system until accidental discharge procedures have
been approved by the Town. Review and approval of such plans and operating
procedures shall not relieve the user from the responsibility to modify
the user's facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this
chapter. In the case of an accidental discharge, it is the responsibility
of the user to immediately telephone and notify the POTW of the incident.
The notification shall include location of discharge, type of waste,
concentration and volume, and corrective actions.

Within five days following an accidental discharge;
the user shall submit to the manager a detailed written report describing
the cause of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user
to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not
relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability
which may be incurred as a result of damage to the treatment works
and treatment facility, fish kills, or any other damage to person
or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines,
civil penalties, or other liability which may be imposed by this article
or other applicable law.

A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's
bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to
call in the event of a dangerous discharge. Employers shall ensure
that all employees who may cause or suffer such a dangerous discharge
to occur are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
